"Surfing the internet, playing games and hanging out on social networks are important for teen development, a large study of online use has revealed.
The report counters the stereotypical view held by many parents and teachers that such activity is a waste of time.
More than 800 teenagers and parents took part in the three-year US project.
"They are learning the technological skills and literacy needed for the contemporary world," said the report's author, Dr Mimi Ito." ~news.bbc.co.uk
